This  work  (liullctiu  No.  40)  is  one  of  a  scries  of  i)iii)ers  intended  to 
illustrate  the  collections  belongin<^  to  the  United  States,  and  consT;i- 
tuting  the  National  Museum,  of  which  the  Smithsonism  Institution 
was  placed  ia  charge  by  the  act  of  Congress  of  August  10,  1S40. 

The  publications  of  the  Xationai  Museum  consists  of  two  series — the 
Bulletin,  of  which  this  is  No.  40,  in  continuous  scries,  and  the  Proceed- 
ings, of  which  the  sixteenth  volume  is  now  in  jners.  A  small  e«litioii 
of  each  i)aper  in  the  Proceedings  is  distributed  in  pam]»hlct  form  to 
specialists  iu  advance  of  the  i)ublicati<Mi  of  the  bound  volume. 

The  Bulletin  of  the  National  Museum,  the  publication  of  whic  i  was 
commenced  in  1.S75,  consists  of  elaborate  papers  based  upon  the  col- 
lections of  the  Museum,  reports  of  ex'iteditions,  etc.,  while  the  Proceed- 
ings facilitate  the  prompt  publication  of  freshly-acquired  facts  relating 
to  biology,  anthropoh)gy,  and  geology,  descrii)tions  of  restricted  ;;roups 
of  animals  and  plants,  the  discussion  of  particular  (juestions  relative 
to  the  synonymy  of  species,  and  the  diaries  of  minor  expeditions. 

Other  papers,  of  more  general  popular  interest,  are  printed  in  the 
Ai>i)endix  to  the  Annual  Report. 

Full  lists  of  the  ])uldications  of  the  Museum  may  be  found  in  the 
current  catalogues  of  the  publications  of  the  Smithsonian  Institution. 

Papers  intended  for  i)ublication  iu  the  Proceedings  and  Bulletin  of 
the  National  Museum  are  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Publications, 
comi)osed  as  follows:  T.  H.  Bean  (chairman),  A.  Howard  Clark,  E.  E.

sort  of  memorial,  the  woik  don*'  upon  this  class  by  one  whose  untimely 
death  is  so  re^irettcd.  Mr.  <).  \\  Cook,  of  Syranise,  N.  V.,  who  has 
greatly  iuteiested  himself  in  the  subjeet  of  the  .Myriapods,  has  aidt'd  in

Museum. 

It  is  tittin;;' that  the  .Museum  should  i)ublisli  this  series  of  papers, 
because  Mr.  liollman  based  much  of  his  work  upon  Museum  material 
and  was  generous  enoujili  to  deposit  all  his  tyjtes  in  the  Musciun,  so 
tliat,  toj^cther  with  the  mateiial  dei)osite<l  by  .Mr.  I'liderwood  and  the 
work  done  by  him  for  the  Museum,  our  collection  in  this  class  is  one  of 
the  most  imi)ortant  in  the  country. 

At  the  time  of  his  death  Charles  Ilarvey  Bollman  was  not  yet  21 
j'ears  of  ajje.  lie  was  born  in  .Mononjiahela  City,  J)ecember  1*4,  ISfJS; 
was  educated  at  the  Cniversity  of  Indiana  at  l»loomin;iton;  j^raduated 
at  this  institution  in  the  i-lassof  1889;  was  appointed,  immediately  after 
j»Taduatiou,  as  an  assistant  in  the  Fish  (Jonnuission,  and  die<l  at  Way 
('ross,  (la.,  July  1.3,  ISSIJ.  He  was  an  exceptionally  bright  student  in 
collejic;  President  David  S.  .Jordan  considered  him,  as  a  naturalist,  one 
of  the  most  brilliant  an»l  promisinjif  he  had  ever  known,  and  certainly 
his  jmblislied  pai)ers  exhibit  the  ability  and  care  of  a  well-trained  man 
It  can  never  cease  to  be  a  matter  of  ref,^ret  that  he  did  not  live  to  carry 
out  one  of  his  clii<'f  ambitions,  as  expressed  in  correspondence,  to  mono-

A    REVIEW    OF    THE     LITERATURE    OF    THE    NORTH    AMERICAN 

MYRIAPODA. 

IIY  l>IC.   I..   M.   «\I)KU\V<K»I». 

Tlio  Myrinpodsi  of  the  rnitctl  Stag's  were  first  stiulit'd  by  Tlioinaa 
Sjiy  ill  1S21.  Ill  a  jiaprr  puhlisluMl  in  tin-  .I<mriial  of  tlu;  I'liiladclpUia 
Acadfiiiy  of  Scieiici's*  he  (U's<'iil»o(l  cijjlitt'en  siu'<i«'.s,  mostly  from  the 
S<»utherii  States,  wliich  he  urranp'd  in  tha  '^vnor.i  ffulus,  Pnlifilrtoniis, 
l'ol}/.icims^  Cennatia,  LHImhiiiM,  (hfiptops^  and  (hitfthihis.  Scatterini^ 
spciies  had  already  been  (h'scribed  l)y  the  earlier  Kuropeau  naturalists, 
and  even  in  America  one  species  had  been  described  in  ISi'O  by  Kalin- 
es(pie  under  the  name  of  Selista  forceps.  Yet  Say's  work  will  stand  as 
the  first  of  hnportance,  reco{,Miizinj;,  as  it  «h)es,  a  c<msiderable  number 
ot  si)ecies. 

After  Say's  time  no  species  were  added  to  our  fauna  for  twenty  years, 
when  lirandt  (1841)  published  from  St.  retersburj;  his  Kecueil,  consist- 
inj»:  of  a  re])riiit  of  a  series  of  papers  relating  to  the  Myriapods  which 
he  had  issued  since  1831).  Four  species  from  our  territory  are  here 
des«iil)ed.  After  Brandt  came  Newport,  who  i)ul)lished  in  1844  a 
monograjih  of  the  Chilopoda,  in  wliich  live  species  were  added  to  our 
fauna  and  the  genera  T/icatops  and  Scolopocryptops  were  founded,  to 
which  he  referred  some  of  Say's  species.  Three  years  later  (1847)  Koch 
published  his  "System  der  Myriapoden",  in  which  a  c<uisiderable  num- 
ber of  American  species  were  described.  The  same  year  ai)peared 
volume  IV  of  "Apteres,"  by  Baron  Walckenaer  and  I'aul  (Jervais,  iu 
which  the  latter  describes  tw(j  new  species  from  the  riiited  States  and 
includes  descriptions  of  the  species  of  Say,  Brandt,  and  Newport,  iu 
all  amounting  to  twenty-six  species. 

During  this  period  two  other  papers  appeared.  In  1853  Charles 
Girard  ]>ublished  iu  an  appendix  to  the  Eeport  of  Marcy's  Exploring 
Expedition  a  description  of  Scolopindm  hcros^the  large  "centipede"  of 
the  Southwest,  with  plate,  together  with  two  species  of  Juliiii  supposed 
to  be  new.  Three  years  later  Sager  published  brief  and  indetinite  de- 
scriptions of  three  new  species,  giving  neither  distinguishing  characters 
to  his  species  nor  the  localities  from  which  he  obtained  his  specimens. 
The  lirst  four  decades  since  Say's  first  publication  thus  found  us  with 
a  known  Myriapod  fauna  of  about  thirty  nominal  species.

10  BULLETIN    46,  UNITED   STATES   NATIONAL    MUSEUM. 

In  18r»0  an  extonsivo  monofjraph  of  the  Mexican  ^Iyriapo<la  was  pub- 
lished from  Geneva  by  Henri  <le  Saussuie,  in  which  were  described  a 
few  species  from  th<>  I7iiited  States  and  other  jmrtions  of  America. 
This  was  soon  followed  (1803)  by  Koch's  elaborate  work,  "Die  Myria- 
poden,"  in  which  he  described  and  ii^aired  fifteen  species  from  the 
United  Stfites. 

Dr.  H.  C.  Wood  pnblished  a  series  of  papers  from  18(51  to  18G7  which  to 
this  time  are  the  most  extensive  series  pnblished  by  a  sin<ile  individual, 
and  which  have  formed  the  basis  of  subsequent  study.  His  pai)er8  in- 
clude a  })reliminarv  i):ip('r  on  Seoloprndra  (18(11),  followed  by  a  general 
cataloj^ne  of  the  Chiiopoda  of  America  (18()3);  in  18(J4  app<'ared  three 
papers  on  the  vari<>us  families  of  the  Diplopoda,  and  the  next  year  his 
"Myriapoda  of  Xorth  America,"  in  whi(;h  he  described  all  the  species 
then  known  to  inhabit  this  country,  comprising  eighteen  genera  and 
ninety-two  species.  Two  brief  supplementary  papers  appeared  in  1867 
on  sundry  new  species  from  California  and  Texas  respectively.*  A 
monograph  of  TAt  hob  ins  by  Ludwig  Koch  appeared  in  1802,  containing 
two  species  from  the  United  States. 

During  the  years  from  1809  to  187U  E.  D.  Cope  published,  in  three 
papers,  descriptions  of  several  (;ave  myriai)ods,  including  the  new 
genera  Fseu^otrcmia,  Anclrofpuifhus,  Pctftserpcs,  and  Scolerpen.  Hum- 
bert and  Saussure  published  "Myriapoda  Xova  Americana"  in  1869, 
which  contains  only  Mexican  species,  many  of  which  are  likely,  how- 
ever, to  appear  on  our  Arizonian  borders  when  the  Myriapod  life  of  that 
region  shall  be  studied.  In  1870  Dr.  Packard  noted  tin;  discovery  of 
Pauropus  in  Massachusetts,  the  first  appearance  of  the  order  Pauro- 
poda  in  America.  In  the  same  and  the  following  year  Meinert  desci  ibed 
two  species  from  New  Orleans  in  his  "Myriapoda  Mus.Ti  Hauniensis," 
I,  II.  In  1872  Oscar  Harger  descTibed  a  number  of  species  with  the  new 
genus  Trk'hopetahtm. 

During  the  same  year  the  sixth  part  of  the  "Mission  Scientifique  au 
Mexique"  appeared,  consisting  of  De  Saussure's  elaborated  ''Etudes 
sur  les  Myriapodes.  In  this  work  several  species  from  the  United 
States  are  described,  and  a  very  complete  catalogue  of  all  the  described 
species  from  the  American  continent  is  appended.  In  Hayden's  Geo- 
logical Survey  of  the  Territories,  Annual  for  1873,  Dr.  Packard  gives 
some  notes  on  the  Myriapods  of  Colorado,  and  describes,  without  assign- 
ing names,  several  new  forms.  In  1887  he  described  Pohfdesmus  cavi- 
cola^  a  cave-inhabiting  species  from  T'tah. 

The  travels  in  this  country  of  Gustaf  Eisen  led  to  the  collection  of 
various  groups  of  animal  forms,  besides  the  Vermes,  in  which  he  was 
particularly  interested.  The  species  of  Lithohius  collected  by  him  were 
described  by  Dr.  Stuxberg  in  1875,  amounting  to  seven  species.    Two 


*A8  Dr.  Wood  nowhere  mentions  the  -^vork  of  either  Panssnre  or  Koch  it  is  more 
than  probable  that  they  were  unknown  to  him.  This  is  still  more  evident  from  the 
synonyms  which  have  resulted.

otlior  papors,  "G«Mieiii  <'t  species  Tiitliobioidanim''  and  " Lithohioidsr 
Anu'iicii'  Iloiealis,*' were  i)ubIisluHl  by  the  same  author  t'roiu  Stockholm 
the  same  year.  These  jiapers  are  vahiable  from  their  full  synonoiuy 
and  notes  on  distribution.  A  translation  of  tlie  latter  pjiper  was  pub- 
lished in  vol.  VII  of  the  Proeeedinjjs  of  the  California  Academy  of 
Sciences.  In  1S77  IlrnchyvyUe  rosea,  from  (.'aliforn'a,  was  described  by 
Andrew  Murray  in  his  volume  oil  ''Economic  Entomolofry."  The 
disi'overy  of  a  se«*ond  sj>e<ies  of  Pauropoda  in  America  was  announ<'ed 
in  1S7S,  by  Dr.  John  A.  liyder,  and  in  ISTO  a  third,  forminu  tlie  new 
jicnus  KuryimuropuH:  the  same  author  also  published  (ISSl)  a  list  of 
the  Lysi<>pefnU(l(F,  addinj;  a  new  jjenus  and  species,  Zyyon<>pun  whitei. 
In  ISSO  Dr.  Karsch,  of  Berlin,  published  three  papers  on  the  various 
families  of  I)ii»lop«  ■  ..  in  \^hich  six  new  spe<'ies  from  the  United  States 
are  described.  Kohlrausch,  in  ISHl,  i)ublished  his  '"(rattunjicn  und 
Arten  der  Scolopendrideii,"  in  which  all  the  known  species  of  this  fam- 
ily are  <lescribe<l.  Two  Anierican  species  of  Scolopetulra  were  described, 
which  had  been  briefly  characterized  in  a  preliminary  paper  published 
in  187S. 

Three  papers  were  i)ublished  by  Dr.  Packard  in  18.S3;  the  first  was 
a  description  of  I*oly<ksmu»  occJIntuH  (afterwards  referred  to  Craspedo- 
soma  hy  Stuxberji);  the  second  was  a  revision  of  the  Lysiopetalida', 
ffiving;  a  summary  of  the  known  information  to  date  and  describing 
the  new  jjenus  CryptotrUhus;  the  third  was  a  mori)holofiical  paper  on 
the  appendages  and  mouth  i)arts  of  the  Myriapotla. 

In  18S4  Dr.  Latzel  ])nblished  a  valuable  monograph  of  the  Myriapoda 
of  Austro-IIungary  in  which  a  few  notes  are  given  on  the  American 
species  of  the  so-called  Lysiopetalida*,  most  of  which  he  referred  to  the 
Chordeumidie;  the  work  contains  synopses  of  all  the  genera  of  Myria- 
poda and  a  very  complete  bibliography  of  the  subject,  containing  611 
titles.  Dr.  Meinert,  of  Coi)enhagen,  published  in  1.S.S4  an  account  of 
the  Chilopoda  of  the  Museum  of  Comparative  Zoology,  describing 
fifteen  new  species  from  the  United  States;  and  the  year  following 
appeared  the  third  part  of  his  "Myria])oda  Musa'i  Ilauniensis,"  in 
which  two  species  of  Liihohius  were  added  to  our  fauna. 

In  J^ovember,  1885,  L.  M.  Underwood  published  a  review  of  the 
principal  literature  on  the  American  si)ecies,  with  synoptic  tables  of 
genca  and  a  summary  of  the  group  as  known  to  him;  at  that  time, 
however,  some  minor  papers  were  overlooked,  so  that  the  summary 
given  should  be  somewhat  increased.  Twenty-seven  genera  with  one 
hundred  and  twenty  nine  species  were  recorded.*    A  subsequent  paper 


*The  <;eograi»hic  distribution  of  the  species  as  described  Tip  to  that  time  is  pecu- 
liar. The  State  having  the  hirgest  number  was  California,  with  27;  then  followed 
Pennsylvania,  25;  Hlinois,  16;  CJeorgia,  13;  Oregon,  12;  Virginia,  10;  Texas,  «; 
New  York,  7;  and  Florida,  7;  all  others  falling  below  5;  15  had  no  described 
sjieeies.  The  report  of  Indiana  with  onlj'  two  species  may  have  incited  Mr.  BoU- 
mau  to  his  study  of  local  forms,  which  commenced  soon  after. 


12  BULLETIN   46,  UNITED   STATES   NATIONAL   MUSEUM. 

by  tho  samo  author  jjavo  synopses  of  tlio  S{'oloi)eiidii(la'  ol"  our  refjion 
hasod  larjjely  on  tlie  «'olloctions  of  the  U.  S.  National  Museum.  Mr. 
.leionie  M«Neill  published  (1887)  two  pa])ers  in  the  tenth  vohinie  of  the 
Proceedinjjfs  of  the  V.  S.  National  Museum;  in  these  eijjhteeu  new  s])e- 
(!ies  were  described.  A  third  paper  jmblished  in  LSSS  adch'd  another 
species,  Pohfdfstmis  butlcri,  to  the  Indiana  fauna.  This  brinj^s  the 
summary  of  literature  to  tlu'  time  when  Mr.  Ilollman  first  eonimeneed 
his  ])ublieations.  It  will  be  seen  that  the  work  on  the  myriapoda  of 
the  United  States  consists  larj^ely  of  fraj;inentary  papers  scattered 
amon^  the  scientific  periodical  literature  of  several  lan<»na<ies.  Only 
one  work — that  of  Dr.  IT.  C.  Wood — made  any  atttimpts  at  complete- 
ness, and  that  had  been  i)ubli.she(l  almost  a  quarter  of  a  century.  The 
time  was  rii)e  for  sonu'  one  of  keen  observing  powers  and  careful  judg- 
ment to  collate  these  species  already  described,  and  collect  and  de- 
scribe the  new  forms  that  had  been  or  couhl  be  found.  Into  this  work 
Mr.  Bollman  entered  with  enthusiasm,  and  his  activity  is  shown  in  the 
numerous  papers  that  in  vso  short  a  space  came  from  his  study.  In 
addition  to  the  papers  published  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  U.  S.  Na- 
tional Museum  and  reprinted  in  this  volume,  Mr.  Bollman  published 
seven  papers:  two  in  the  Annals  of  the  New  York  Academi/,  one  in  the 
A7nerican  Nafurnlist,  and  four  in  Entomohujiva  Amerieana.  In  these 
papers  are  included  descriptions  of  thirty-one  new  species,  many  of 
which  were  collected  in  the  vicinity  of  his  home  in  Indiana.  In  addi- 
tion three  new  genera  were  described.* 

The  anatomy,  morphology,  and  development  of  the  Myriapoda  have 
remained  almost  untouched  in  America  aLd  comparatively  little  has 
been  written  anywhere.  Its  single  paper  by  Packard  on  the  morphol- 
ogy comprises  about  all  the  American  literature  on  the  subject.  A 
few  brief  notes  on  the  poisonous  nature  of  some  of  the  more  common 
species  have  appeared  from  time  to  time.  The  economic  relations  of 
the  Myriapoda  have  been  only  brietly  consi«lered.  Besides  scanty 
notes  on  the  habits  of  certain  species  scattered  through  the  papers  of 
Wood  and  others  mentioned  above,  we  add  a  brief  summary  of  what 
is  included  in  the  serial  entomological  reports  of  the  various  States. 
In  his  Tenth  Ileport  on  the  insects  of  New  York,  Fitch  describes  the 
ravages  of  Folydesmits  comphmatits  j  in  cabbagt,  causing  the  so-called 
"club  foot."  Walsh,  in  the  Practical  Entomolof/ist  for  180(5,  describes 
Jidus  multistriatus,  which  he  afterwards  identified  as  J.  cerulcoeinctus 
Wood,|  as  causing  injury  to  strawberry  roots.  In  the  American  Ento- 
molof/ixt  for  1809,  he  mentions  two  forms,  a  Jnlus  and  a  Polydesmm^  as 
burrowing  in  strawberries.    In  the  Eleventh  Illinois  Report  (Thomas) 


"Adding  to  these  the  species  described  iu  the  Proceedin<j;s  of  the  U.  S.  National 
Museum  iind  the  extent  of  Mr.  Bolhiian's  work  on  the  Myriapoda  is  apparent;  the 
totals  will  then  he  3  genera  and  O;}  species.

At  tirst  this  speeies  might  be  taken  for  the  young  of  mordax.  1  have 
no  young  specimens  of  the  latter  on  hand,  but  judging  from  Dr.  Meiu-

by  the  number  of  prosternal  teeth  (4  instead  of  10),  by  the  spines  of 
the  first  iiair  of  legs  (1,  3,  2  instead  of  2,  1,  1)  and  by  the  number  of

much  more  than  in  any  other  species.

tuberculation  isdittcrent.  From  llar«:er's  description  of  (J.  filomrtutinu 
this  species  seems  to  ditt'er  in  havinj;  a  dark  median  dorsal  line,  besides 
bein^  of  a  h.rj^er  size.

This  species  is  very  closely  related  to  I'ttvadrsmm  (jravUis,  as  shown 
by  the  character  of  male  genitalia,  but  is  at  on(!e  recoguizid  by  the 
characters  given  in  the  diagnosis.  The  following  ditlerencjs  were  also 
observed,  which,  except  the  characters  of  male  genitalia,  are  not  <»f 
much  importance: 

Dorsal  plates  somewhat  wrinkled;  repugnatorial  pore  (as  compared 
with  Saussure's  tigure  of  P.  voarctatnx=  J*,  f/racilifi)  not  i)laced  so  far 
back  nor  the  lateral  carina*  so  swollen;  the  end  of  the  sheath  inclosing 
the  tlagellum  finely  serrate  as  well  as  its  branch ;  the  other  U)be  widely 
three  or  four  toothed;  length  of  body,  S  lo.o  to  20""",  9  17  to  22.5""". 

I  have  examined  three  males  and  a  number  of  females  collected  by

This  speties  is  closely  related  to  the  jireceding.  It  differs,  however, 
mnch  in  color  and  in  the  character  of  male  genitalia.  As  <'ompared 
with  the  male  of  F.  <  riths.  the  following  points  may  be  w<irthy  of  note: 

Browner,  legs  yellow;  lateral  plates  not  so  sharji;  legs  of  male  more

This  species  is  very  closely  related  to  F.  trimaculata,  as  is  shown  by 
the  coloration  and  genitalia,  but  the  latter  aie  more  strongly  coiled  and 
with  the  basal  spine  larger.  Comparing  the  males  of  the  two  species, 
it  may  be  said  that  in  1\  montaua  the  different  parts  are  larger,  but 
more  slender. 

1  have  examined  a  male  collected  by  Mr.  Charles  B.  Branner.  This 
species  is  the  southern  representative  of  I\  frimacidata,  but  it  is  not 
probable  that  they  will  merge  into  one  as  the  characters  of  the  male 
genitalia  are  too  nnich  unlike.

Tlu'  following  paper  is  bastnl  upon  nniteiial  of  this  family  embrac-ed 
in  the  entomological  <-ollection  in  the  Museum  of  the  Indiana  Uni- 
versity. 

In  eonnection  with  the  deseription  of  the  new  siieeies,  it  has  also 
been  deemed  best  to  introduce  descrii)tions  of  those  already  known  to 
scienoe. 

The  types  of  the  new  genera  and  species  are  deposited  in  the  above 
museum.

This  genus  ditters  from  Parajulus  in  the  mandibulary  combs  being 
four;  the  tirst  segment  of  an  equal  size  in  both  sexes;  the  second  i»air 
of  feet  not  stunted;  and  the  tirst  pair  of  the  male  small,  three-Jointed, 
the  last  joint  large  and  uncinate. 

As  the  subgenera  of  this  genus  are  very  much  confused,  I  have  not 
attempted  to  give  a  key  to  those  to  which  the  following  species  belong. 

1.  JuluB  Owenii,  sp.  uov. 

Pale  brown,  a  lateral  series  of  dark  brown  spots,  first  dorsal  plate 
with  a  brown  band  along  the  anterior  border;  a  brown  band  between 
the  eyes;  a  ])ale  oval  spot  at  the  base  of  antenna?;  feet  and  autennie 
pale.  Moderately  slender,  not  smooth,  not  pilose.  Vertex  rough;  a 
faint  median  sulcus;  setigerous  foveola?  absent.  Antenna  subclavate, 
eciual  to  the  width  of  body.  Eyes  indistinct,  subcircular;  ocelli  not 
always  filled  out,  about  28,  arranged  in  (>  or  7  series.  Segments  38-40. 
First  segment  unusually  thin,  advanced  forward  to  the  eyes;  sides 
striate.  Other  segments  moderately  striate  both  above  and  below. 
Last  segment  rounded;  anal  valves  not  marginate,  not  pilose;  anal 
scale  triangular.  Repugnatorial  pore  moderately  large,  longitudinally 
oval,  touching  the  transverse  suture,  which  is  excised,  ^nirs  of  feet 
54-66,  rather  stout,  equaling  the  width  of  body."    Male:  mandibulary

except  the  end;  large,  tlat,  the  ends  turning  outwards,  rounded;  pos- 
terior plate  composed  apparently  of  three  pieces,  strongly  twisted  to-

Eyes  triangular;  ocelli  arranged  in  several  seiies.  Antenna'  short, 
subclavate,  joints  longer  than  wide,  second  and  sixth  subecjual,  the 
latter  enlarged  as  in  Ctunbulu.  ^Fandibulary  combs  six  (."»).  Gnatho- 
chiiarium  barely  spatulate;  stii)es  sejiarated,  attenuated  towards  the 
base;  mentuni  entire,  exi)osed;  ])romentum  almost  as  in  Juhnnorpha, 
l)Osterior  plate  trapezoidal,  anterior  lanceolate-trianguhir;  lingual 
l)latcs  sei)arated;  lingual  lobes  denticulated.  Segments  constricted  in 
the  middle;  the  anterior  ten  segments  striate  from  the  feet  to  the  re- 
})ugnatorial  pore,  the  strije  diminishing  on  tne  other  segments;  at  the 
junction  of  the  anterior  and  posterior  parts  are  round  impressions, 
larger  than  the  pore,  extending  around  all,  excei)t  the  first  0  or  8;  first 
segment  nearly  -as  wide  as  the  next  two.  Itepugnatorial  pore  begin- 
ning on  the  sixth  segment,  i)laced  in  the  posterior  part.  Fourth  seg- 
ment apodous.  Feet  long  and  slender,  seventh  joint  longer  than  the 
third.  Male:  First  pair  of  legs  abimt  half  as  long  as  other,  scarcely 
thickened,  same  number  of  joints,  unarmed;  sixth  and  seventh  i)airs 
of  legs  with  the  penultimate  joint  sw^ollen  and  produced  on  the  inner 
side. 

This  genus  seems  to  be  more  related  to  Camhala  than  any  other 
genus,  but  nevertheless  it  also  approaches  Jidomorpha,  especially  in 
the  construction  of  the  guathochilarium.  It  is  distinguished  from  all 
the  known  genera  by  the  first  i)air  of  feet  of  the  male. 

The  following  species  is  the  type  of  the  genus:

DESCRIPTION  OF  NEW  GENERA  AND  SPECIES  OF  NORTH  AMERI- 
CAN MYRIOPODA  (JULIDiE.) 

BY  C.  11.   KOLI.MAN. 

In  exiuuiiiiii<;  tin*  inat(>ri:i]  of  this  family  in  tlu»  inuscnni  of  tlio  Indiana 
rniv«*rsity  and  my  own  rollecti(»n,  I  liavc  foinnl  that  the  foUowiujj; 
fepecies  do  uot  aj)iK'ar  to  Im'  dt'seribed: 

Family  xV.— JULIDJC,  Leaiih. 
(icnus  I. — Nannolene,  ;ien.  iniv. 

Antenna'  short,  subclavate,  Joints  lonjifer  than  wide,  second  and  sixth 
snbe(iual,  the  hitter  enlar;;ed  as  in  Camhula.  Mandibnhny  combs  0  (o), 
Gnathoc'hihirium  somewhat  spatnhite,  stipes  separated  attenuated  at 
the  base,  mentum  entire,  exposed,  promentnm  divided  almost  as  in  Cam- 
^nlouv  Tuloniorpha;  linjj:ual  h)besdenticuhited.  Se^jmentsconstrieted  in 
the  miildle,  the  anterior  ten  si'j^ineiits  striate  from  the  feet  to  the  pore? 
stria*  dimiiiislnng  on  the  others;  at  the  Junction  of  the  anterior  and 
posterior  parts  of  almost  every  se;jfment  are  rouml  impressions,  larjjer 
than  the  repugnatorial  pore,  which  extend  around  all  these}»iuentsex- 
cei)t  the  anterior  ()-8.  Repujijnatorial  pore  commencing  on  the  sixth 
segment,  placed  in  the  posterior  part.  Fourth  segment  footless.  Feet 
long  and  slender.  Male:  First  pair  of  legs  short,  usual  number  of 
joints,  somewhat  thickened,  unarmed;  penultimate  Joint  of  the  sixth 
and  seventh  pairs  of  legs  produced  on  the  inner  side. 

This  genus  is  rehati'd  more  to  Camhula,  than  any  other,  although  it 
approaches  lulomorpha  in  the  form  of  the  promentum.  The  following 
species  is  the  type : 

Nanuolene  burkei,  sp.  uov. 

Light  brown,  a  lateral  row  of  large  brown  spots,  a  brown  band  be- 
tween eyes.  Slender,  not  smooth  or  pih)se.  Vertex  smooth,  a  faint 
median  sulcus,  setigerous  foveohc  absent.  Antennt»'  equaling  the  width 
of  body,  pilose.  Eyes  distinct,  triangular;  ocelli  2  to  5.  Segments  50 
or  51 ,  Sides  of  tirst  segment  striate,  others  moderately  striate  beneath, 
posterior  margin  of  each  segment  with  tine  parallel  stria-.  Last  seg- 
ment rounded;  anal  valves  not  marginate,  pilose;  anal  scale  obtusely 
rounded,  pilose.  Kepuguatorial  pore  small,  not  touching  the  trans- 
verse suture.  l*airs  of  feet  about  87,  extending  beyond  the  sides  of

I  hav«' cxaiiiiiicd  two  adiiltH  and  two  yoiiii^  of  thin  s|M»cies  rollo<'ted 
by  Mr.  .laiiu's  K.  Unrke,  alter  whom  the  siM-cies  is  iiaiiu'd. 

<M'iius  11. —  I'AKA.iULrs,  Ihimlit.  and  Saiiss. 

To  this  jiemis  iM'ioiiy:  our  larj;er  s[K*ciesotsoealhMl  ./m/m«.  From  the 
latter  tfeniis  it  is  easily  separated  l>y  the  number  <(t  mandibulary  eombs 
(10),  the  dwarfed  seeoiul  pair  ot"  feet  and  the  form  of  the  tirst  seg- 
ment of  the  nnih'  with  its  appendaues. 

Under  the  ^enus  ./m/«x,  \V«)od  says,  "In  ail  species  in  whieh  1  have 
had  the  opportunity  of  exaujininj^  sexes,  the  form  of  the  tirst  seutum 
distinjjuishes  them  with  certainty.  In  the  male  its  antero  posterior 
diameter  is  larfje,  and  there  are  well  marked  lateral  margins  ruuniu};- 
nearly  at  rij;ht  anj^les  Ut  the  others.  In  the  female  the  anterior  pos- 
terior diameter  is  much  less,  but  laterally  the  scutum  is  so  produced 
that  the  anterioi'  and  postei  inr  mar<»ins  may  in  most  cases  be  said  to 
meet  one  am)ther  at  an  an};lc.  Tiic  males  are  further  distin<;uished  by 
a  peculiar  alteration  of  the  tirst  [lair  «)f  feet,  which  are  transformed  into 
a  pair  of  very  larp',  thick  organs." 

By  applying  this  remark  to  those  species  of  which  he  ha<l  both  sexes, 
we  have  most  of  the  species  known  to  be  in  this  genus  at  present.  The 
following  is  a  key  to  the  subgenera: 

a.  First  segiiieiit  enlargtd  in  the  male.  Kirst  jKiir  of  feet  of  niali-  lai<;o,  rrasHate,

Habitat. — Bloomington,  Ind. 

I  have  examined  four  9  9  and  three  (5  $.  It  seeuH  to  be  nu)re  under- 
ground in  its  habits  than  the  other  sj>ecies  of  this  family  known  to  me. 
1  have  always  found  it  under  logs  buried  rather  deep  in  the  ground. 
I  thought  at  lirst  this  might  be  the  young  of  some  other  Pi>lydvsmi<la\ 
but  having  found  several  males  and  taken  a  pair  in  the  act  of  copula-

As  I'rof.  I'ocy  did  not  mention  any  i)aitieuliir  locality  in  t]\v  island 
of  Cuba,  I  suppose  that  most  of  the  species  are  from  the  vicinity  of 
Havana. 

I  desin'  to  tiMider  my  thanks  to  I'lof.  Poey  for  the  mat«'iial  I  hav»' 
received  from  his  liands,  and  to  Dr.  ,Iuan  (lundlach  for  a  specimen  of  a

hiiUjHotils. —  Uelated  to  Xtenonio  fitnhriatt(  ( I'eters),  but  at  once  sep- 
arated by  the  tubereulation  of  the  dorsal  plates,  by  the  iieiiulatioii  of 
lateral  carii:.e,  by  the  character  of  anal  sejifinentand  the  pattern  of  col- 
oration. 

The  following  is  a  careful  description  of  the  species:  Kosy,  especially 
the  tubercles;  nearly  all  the  repujiiiatorial  pore  bearing  segments  with 
a  dec'i)  blotch  on  each  side  above  the  carina-;  antenna'  dark,  legs  pale. 
Body  wide,  <'onvex,  not  attenuated  anteriorly,  slightly  posteriorly.  An- 
tenna' short,  subdavate.  First  segment  very  wide,  completely  conceal- 
ing the  head  as  \i\  Jimhri((tiis ;  a  row  of  small  scales  along  the  posterior 
margin;  two  large  median  scales;  along  anterior  margin  a  row  of 
twelv<'  rectangular  scales,  between  the  third  ami  fourth  from  posb'rior 
angle  a  distinct  not(;h,  between  the  others  a  slight  waviness.  Other 
segments  with  three  distinct  rows  of  scales  with  smaller  ones  inter- 
sjK'rsed;  lateral  carina'  crenulate  the  tirst  six,  the  eighth,  eleventh,  and 
fourteenth,  with  two  crenulation^^,  the  rest  with  three;  a  distinct  me-

HV    CIIARI.KS    II.    IIOI, I.MAN. 

Tlio  followinjj  list  of  myriiiiMMls  is  based  \\]um  an  extensive  collection 
made  at  vaji<»us  times  by  Mr.  (Miarles  11.  Ilranner,  of  Mossy  Creek, 
Tenn.  As  tiie  material  was  collected  in  all  sea.sons  of  tlie  year,  a.id  a 
lar^e  number  of  spt^cies  found,  it  is  mite  to  say  that  this  list  is  almost 
complete.

in  East  Tennessee,  by  Dr.  .F  hn  ('.  I  banner,  were  iiublisiietlin  the  Ann.

Common.  The  number  of  se<>ments  vary  from  .w-fi.")  in  the  adult 
speciniens.  The  tifth  and  sixth  antennal  joints  are  not  united  as  Cope 
has  stated,  but  are  distinctly  separate,  the  sixth  being'  the  larjjest  joint. 

2.  Nemasoma  miiiutiim  (lirantlt). 

In  one  lot  of  material  sent  were  six  specimens  of  this  species. 

3.  Parajulus  peuiisylvanicus  (Brandt).

4.  Cambala  annulata  fSay), 

Abundant.  All  the  specimens  of  this  species  which  I  have  received 
from  East  Tennessee  ami  North  Carolina  (Balsam  and  Chapel  Hill) 
are  very  large  (4r)-,>2"""),  and  of  a  very  dark-brown  shade,  while  those 
which  1  have  exanuned  from  other  localities  (Indiana  and  Arkansas) 
are  much  smaller  (20-38'"'")  and  of  a  light  yellowish  br«)wn  shade. 
Specimens  from  the  latter  localities  may  represent  a  geogray>hical 
S})ecies,  but  it  is  hard  to  say  what  form  Say  described,  althoujjh  his 
description  niay  a]>ply  to  the  former,  as  his  specimens  were  from  Georgia 
and  Florida.

CHELLA,  FROM  STRAWBERRY  PLAINS,  JEFFERSON  COUNTY, 
TENNESSEE. 

KY    <UAULK.S    II.    nul.I.MAN. 

Fontaria  pulchella,  .sji.  uov. 

D'hujuosU. — Kciated  to  F.  oblonffn*  Koch,  but  the  hiteial  caiinje 
smaller,  and  ju'odiiced  into  a  sharp  i»oint  posteriorly;  repujinatorial 
pore  suhinferior;  ventral  spine  large,  cylindrical,  tapering-,  curved  out- 
wards. 

Type.—V.  S.  Nat.  Mus.;  No.  404,  Author's  coll. 

Description. — llrown,  lateral  carina'  and  jiosterior  border  of  segments 
red;  legs  an<l  under  parts  yellow.  Uody  very  robust,  anterior  segment 
scarcely  attenuated;  smooth,  with  numer<ms  short  lines,  as  in  castanca 
and  teniics.sccmis;  papilhe  less  iirominent.  Vertex  sulcus  distinct; 
tbveohe  single.  Lateral  carina'  small,  margins  swollen  and  produced 
jxisteriorly  into  a  sharp  point.  Repugnatorial  ]»ore  large,  subinl'erior, 
subapical.  Ventral  plate  armed ;  coxa*  unarmed.  Length,  20""" ;  width, 
4.3""";  height,  4.2"'"'. 

Dr.  Koch's  iigun^  of  Fontaria  ohUm<i<(  represents  a  species  which  is 
more  de])ressed,  lateral  carina'  larger,  and  the  repugnatorial  pores  not 
subinferi((r,  but  on  the  ni>per  side  as  in  casiamu  or  tonusseensis. 

The  white  Avith  which  he  says  the  lateral  carina'  and  posterior  border 
of  segments  are  colored  is  probably  red,  faded  by  bad  alcohol. 

This  species  is  described  from  two  females  collected  at  Strawberry 
Plains  by  Mr.  Charles  B.  Brainier,  of  Mossy  Creek,  Tennessee.

exaiiiiiuitiou  the  uiiidentilied  lot  of  iiiyriai»oda  loutaiued  in  the  eollec- 
ti(m  of  the  ('.  S.  National  Mnsenin. 

This  lot  contains  both  foreij;n  and  domestic  species,  but  in  this  jKiper 
I  have  only  jiiven  notes  upon  the  foiins  found  in  the  United  States. 

In  addition,  I  have  included  several  notes  upon  .some  material  sent 
to  me  by  Pr<>f.  1j.  M.  LTnderwood,  of  Syracuse.  N.  V. 

The  ie  spe(;imens  originally  belonjicd  to  a  eolU'ction,  the  remainder 
of  which  he  had  ])resentcd  to  the  Museum,  and  has  been  sent  to  me 
among'  the  material  received  from  Dr.  Riley. 

I  desire  to  tender  my  thanks  to  Dr.  C  V.  Uiley,  Mr.  J.  1>.  Smith,  and 
to  J*rof.  L.  M.  Underwood  for  \  arious  favors.

This  specimen,  a  female,  differs  from  any  I  have  seen  in  having  the 
general  coloration  morii  intensitied.  Dorsal  plates  redilish  l)rown,

The  above  measurements,  when  comi)ared  with  those  of  Fontaria  m-

This  species  is  described  from  two  females — one  from  each  locality. 

It  approaches  very  closely  to  Koch's  figures  of  F.  rir{iitiirnsii<,  and  it 
is  probable  that  he  has  described  this  species  as  rirf/iiiioisis.

This  si)eeies  is  described  from  an  adult  female. 

According  to  Meinert's  diagnosis  of  the  genus  SrlHudtfhi  this  species 
would  be  included  under  that  genus;  but  the  three  known  spe<'ies  nniy 
be  separated  by  the  following  generic  iharacters: 

(I.  L'luw  of  niaxilliiry  )iiil|iiis  not  ]»e<-tiiiiitc,  outt-r  part  of  fir.st  pair  of  iiiuxillii*  without 
a  trace  of  a  lateral  jtrotess;  lahriiiii  iMitiri'ly  uiiit«Ml,  tet-th  20-l.'2,  «(jual;  anal 
leL^s  6-joint«Ml Xemorennitt. 

un.  Claw  of  maxillary  palpus  in-ctinate;  outer  part  of  tirst* maxilla-  with  a  Hmall 
lateral  process;  labriim  free  in  the  middle. 
h.  Aual  pair  of  legs  r)-Jointed;  claw  of  maxillary  palpuH  only  pe<-tinate  under  the 
apex;  labral  teeth  about  !•'>,  equal;  tirst  joiut  uf  unal  k>;rs  almoHt  coalesce 

with  seccmil Kximia. 

bb.  Anal  pair  of  Icfjs  t>-jointed;  claw  of  maxillary  palpus  jtectinate  for  its  entire 
leiifjjth;  labral  t«'eth  H-|-10+8,  the  outer  enlar;;ed;  first  joiut  of  aual  legs  not 
coalesced  with  second imericaiiuii. 

On  account  of  these  generic  ditierences  between  the  three  species, 
esiHxially  between  th«^  first  and  the  last  two,  I  have  thought  it  best  to 
place  americanus  and  iximin  und4*r  the  new  genus  Pevtiniunffitis,  of 
which  umeriedHHs  is  the  type,  restricting  ISchendyla  to  ntmorefUfis. 

The  generic  ditterences  between  americanux  and  eximia  are  no  doubt 
worthy  of  subgeneric  rank,  and  I  therefore  propose  the  name  Nan- 
nopuH  for  the  reception  at'  4\rimia.

Placing  Siphonophora  and  its  allies  in  a  separate  subfamily  leaves  the 
remaining  genera  as  a  similar  group  to  which  we  must  give  the  name 
PoLYZONiiN^E,  because  it  contains  the  type  of  the  family  Folyzoniidw. 

2.   SlPHOXOPHORIN.«.

1884. — DoliHtenia  Latzel.    Myr.  Ost.  Ungar.  Monarch.,  ii,  362. 

Many  writers  have  seen  fit  to  detai^h  Siphonophora  from  related 
genera,  and  to  make  of  it  a  separate  family  or  subfamily.  As  no  char, 
acters  of  importance  exist  except  those  drawn  from  the  form  of  body, 
it  seems  best,  therefore,  to  give  it  the  rank  of  a  subfamily  only. 

To  place  Andrognathm  Cope  in  this  subfamily  makes  the  number  of 
segments  valueless  as  a  subfamily  character. 

3.  Andrognathus. 

1869, — Andrognathus  Cope.     Proc.  Anier.  Philos.  Soc,  182  {cortiearms), 

1875. — Dolistenus  Fanzago.    Atti  Soc.  Ven.  Trent.  Sci.  Nat.,  62  (sai-u)-

1884. — Dolysteniie  Berlese.    Acari,  Myr.  &  Scorp.  Ital.,  Fas.  xii,  No.  2  (emendation). 

A  careful  comparison  of  Andrognathus  and  Dolistenus  has  shown  that 
the  two  genera  are  inseparable,  and  the  latter  must  stand  as  a  syno- 
nym oi  Andrognathus. 

Dr.  Berlese  has  used  his  emendation  of  Dolistenus  in  .all  his  works, 
while  Dr.  Latzel's  only  occurred  in  a  foot-note,  and  was  intended  to 
show  how  Dolistenus  should  be  spelled  according  to  its  derivation.

THE  MYRIAPODA  OF  NORTH  AMERICA.  137

188<). — Uirutiinoma  Fjiii/.uj;o.     Hull.  S<h'.  Eut.  Ital.,  27n  (palHdum). 

\HH7. — Hexaglcna  McNeill.     Proc.  IJ.  S.  Nat.  Mas.,  328  (iriiptoaphala^^roHuIhum). 

From  the  above  Hynoiiyiny  it  can  be  seen  that  I  have  united  the 
American  'j;enera  PetanerpeH  and  Hexaglcna  with  the  Kuiopcan  j;cnus 
PoJxfzoniuni. 

Concerning  Petaserpea  I  wish  to  call  attention  to  the  following  sen- 
tence in  Dr.  Cojie's  dia^rnosis :  "Annula*  without  lateral  ])roce8Kcs,  each 
with  two  pores,  forming  two  rows  on  ca<'h  side  of  the  body." 

The  tirst  part  implies  that  each  annula  has  two  pores,  but  his  next 
phrase  that  each  has  four  instead  of  tiro. 

This  obscurity  of  statement  led  Mr.  McNeill  to  form  his  Hexaglcna, 
which  has  only  one  row  of  foramina  repugnatoria  on  ea<'h  side  of  the 
body,  as  was  no  doubt  tlie  case  in  Dr.  Cope's  specimens. 

.5.    OCTOfJLF.NA. 

W&i.—Ovtog\ena  Wood.     Proc.  Phila.  Acad.  Nat.  Sci.,  18fi  (hirirgata). 

I  have  never  seen  a  specimen  belonging  to  this  genus,  but  as  it  is 
somewhat  of  a  stumbling  block,  I  call  attention  to  the  following  }>oints: 

Judging  from  Dr.  Wood's  figures  and  some  remarks  by  Dr.  Cope,  it 
seems  to  me  tliat  Octoglena  is  closely  related  to  Polyzoniutn,  ))ut  that  it 
ditfers  in  having  the  tirst  dorsal  plate  not  produced  to  the  base  of  the 
auteuna;,  and  the  body  much  narrower  than  in  Polyzonium. 

6.  Platydesmi's. 

1843. — Platydesmiia  Lucas.     Ann.  Soc.  Ent.  France,  51  (polydeamoide)). 
1849. — Piestodesmus  Lucas.     Rev.  vt.  Mag.  Zool.,  589  (moreleti), 
1864. — Brachycybe  Wood.     Proc.  Phil.  Acad.  Nat.  Sci.,  187  (lecontei). 

The  above  nominal  genera  seem  to  agree  in  the  shape  of  body,  mark- 
ings of  segments,  and  structure  of  mouth  parts,  while  the  number  ot 
ocelli  varies.  Platydesmus  has  one,  Piestodesmus  has  two,  and  Brachy- 
cybe has  none,  but  until  all  these  points  can  be  verified  it  is  not  safe  to 
form  subgenera  on  this  character. 

7.  Stkmmiulus.

1881. — St€mmijulu8  Karsch.     Neue  .Jul.   Ber.  Mas.,   als   Prod.   Jul.   Monograph.,  ii 
(emeud.). 

This  genus  has  been  ranked  by  Dr.  Latzel  as  only  a  subgenus  of 
Jm/m«,  but  on  account  of  the  peculiar  number  of  ocelli  I  believe  it  ought 
to  be  given  a  full  generic  rank,  at  least  until  more  can  be  ascertained 
about  the  structure  of  the  mouth  parts. 

The  original  orthography  of  Gervais  should  be  employed.

because  Xemasovia  Koch  was  said  to  be  pieoccupied  by  one  of  La-

I  find  from  Agassiz's  Nomenclator  that  Latreille's  genus  is  spelled 
Nemonoma,  a  word  sufliciently  dilferent  from  Xcmatiomd.

This  genns  is  closely  related  to  Acunthiulus,  bnt  is  easily  sejjarated 
by  the  following  characters:  Ocelli  in  a  single  series.  Antenna*  and 
legs  moderately  long.  J*osterior  border  of  tirst  segment  carinated, 
sides  not  i)roduced  as  in  Acanthi iilus.  Other  segments,  except  the  last, 
with  13  to  21  rows  of  carina-. 

First,  second,  and  third  segments  each  with  one  i)air  of  legs,  fonrth, 
footless.  Peters'  orthography  Trachyjulnn  onght  to  be  nsed  instead  of 
Trachi/iiUas,  which  emendation  has  been  used  l)y  later  authors.  The 
same  must  be  the  rule  with  Acnnthiuhis  and  Glyphiulus.

probability  that  it  may  be  the  young  of  some  Campoden.  LariuluH  Ber-

Campodes  Koch  has  always  been  overlooked  by  American  authors, 
as,  in  fact,  have  been  nearly  all  the  works  of  Koch.  The  result  has  been 
the  description  of  several  genera  that  are  identical  with  earlier  names 
of  his.  In  the  above  synonomy  I  have  included  Pseudotremia  Cope  as 
forming  a  part  of  Campodes,  while  Cryptotrichus  Packard  is  also  iden-

NOTES    UPON   THE    SPECIES    OF     MYRIOPODA     SYNGNATHA,    DE 

SCRIBED  BY  THOMAS  SAY.* 

BY   CIIARKKM    II.    HOI. I.MAN. 

Diirinj?  tlu»  past  year,  whilQ  endeavoring  to  identify  the  North  Anier- 
lean  specit'8  of  niyriapods  des<Tib«'d  by  early  authors,  1  have  .spent  con- 
siderable time  Htudyiny  those  d«'8cribt'd  "by  Mr.  Tliomas  Hay,  whose 
only  work  on  our  species  appeared  in  the  .Journ.  Acad.  Nat.  Sci.  Philii., 
for  IH'Jl.  As  my  conclusions  in  several  «ases  in  retj:ard  to  the  identiti- 
cation  of  his  species  are  diftcrent  from  the  opinions  held  by  other  au- 
thors I  have  deemed  it  best  to  embody  my  views  in  the  form  of  a  paper. 

The  only  tyi)eaof  Say's  species  that  are  probably  now  preserved  are 
those  sent  by  him  to  Dr.  Leiiyh  and  deposited  by  tlie  latter  gentleman 
in  the  British  Museum.  These  specimens  were  afterwards  studied  by 
Newport  and  (Iray,  and  lately  the  type  of  Cryptops  pontiruH  and  the 
genus  Theatopx  have  been  reexamiue<l  by  Mr.  K.  Innes  Pocock. 

i.i  the  foUowing  i)aper  I  have  marked  with  an  asterisk  (•)  those 
species  the  types  of  which  are  now  preserved  in  the  collection  of  the 
above  museum.  Of  the  seventeen  species  described  by  Say  all  except 
one  are  good,  the  names  of  t'«ree,  on  account  of  preoccupation,  have 
had  to  be  changed,  and  six  have  since  been  transferred  to  other  genera.

This  species,  at  tirst  considered  to  be  valid,  was  afterwards  identified 
by  Dr.  Wood  with  his  Julun  i^enmtim.  A  comparison  of  these  two  si)e- 
cies  shows  that  they  are  very  different.  Besides,  venustuH  is  not  found 
south  of  Kentucky,  while  Say's  specimens  of  impreHHUH  were  from  Geor- 
gia and  Florida,  although  it  ranges  north  into  the  regiim  of  venmtns 
(Connersville,  Brookville,  and  Bloomingtou,  lud.).  This  species  should 
now  stand  as  Parajulm  imprenHUS  (Say).

the  nnnd)er  of  pairs  of  leys  (."ilM.  and  the  Icnuth  of  anal  pair  (hanUij

Of  the  sevi'uteen  new  speeios  described  by  Say  this  <me  is  the  most

in  regard  to  the  shape  of  body  and  the  length  of  anal  k^gs.

think,  at  least  tor  the  present  or  until  more  light  (;au  be  thrown  upon 
Say's  species,  it  is  best  to  regard  it  the  same  as  bipiinctiveps.

others — Fontaria  rirf/iniensis  and  Svutujern  forwj}s.

NOTES  UPON  THE  NORTH  AMERICAN   MYRIAPODS  DESCRIBED  BY

As  l)r,  Koch's  papers*  nUatin^' t<>  tlio  Nortli  Aniorican  myriapods 
seem  to  liav«'  been  overlooked  hy  jnevioiis  authors,  I  have  tlioujjht  it 
best  to  briii^j:  togetlier  in  a  ])aper  luy  notes  relating-  to  his  species. 

The  second  of  Dr.  Koch'  works  is  merely  a  more  extended  account  of 
the  species  mentioned  in  his  first  work,  with  ]tlates  of  eacli. 

Of  tlie  fourteen  new  species  described  by  Koch  only  five  are  good. 
I  desire  to  exjuess  my  thanks  to  Dr.  Lucien  M.  Tnderwood,  of  Syr- 
acuse, N.  Y.,  for  the  privilege  of  exanuning  a  coi>y  of  Koch's  "Die 
Myriapoden."

As  the  descrii)tions  and  figures  of  this  species  plainly  show,  it  should 
be  referred  to  Parnjuhia  caniKlcnsis  (Newport).

This  species,  described  from  a  male  speciinen,  is  identical  with  the 
preceding.  The  differences  Koch  draws  between  them  are  sexual. 
His  figure  of  the  first  pair  of  legs  .seems  to  indicate  that  his  specimens 
were  not  full  grown.

This  species,  the  type  of  the  genus  Campodes,  has  been  well  de- 
sciibed  by  Koch.  It  is  the  same  as  Spiroslreplion  ('a'Hi(>annuIatii.s  Wood

This  new  species,  as  Koch  has  liinted,  "  VieUfiehi  nur  Ahart  der

This  spocios,  the  typo  of  tlio  jjiMiiis  Srtffonofns,  is  icloiitical   with  the

The  only  dirterenecs  Koch  makes  between  this  and  the  |ae»'e«liiij> 
species  is  in  the  iiuiiiber  of  rows  of  scah'like  tiilu'icuh's  on  tiic  liist 
dorsal  phite,  one  instead  of  tlircr.  Tiiis  character  is  utterly  worthless, 
as  the  scales  on  the  tirst  doisal  plate  vary  in  number  and  are  sometimes 
almost  obliterated.  On  account  of  this  variation  his  hcrirollis  is  the 
same  as  scabrivollis,  and  hence  identical  with  Say's  f/raniilaftis. 

7.  Scytonotus  nodulosus  Koch.     Syst.  Myr.,  131,  1817  (Pennxiflranid);   Itic  Myr., 

II,  13,  pi.  80,  lijr.  ItU.  18<;3. 

This  species,  which  .seems  to  be  valid,  bears,  in  its  freuorij]  ap])eai  ain-e, 
a  resemblance  to  AW//</«i«WM.s,  but  the  position  of  tin*  repuj^iiatorial  pore 
excludes  it  from  that  f^enus.  It  can  not  be  the  IScyfonotus  aetUjcr  ot 
Wood,  becau.se  the  latter  species  has  the  S(|uamation  more  like  that  of 
///Y<»/^/^f^//.<?,  and  not  as  in  I'nhfdrfimHs.  His  fi^nres  of  the  first  dorsal 
plate  «lo  not  a<»ree  in  refjaid  to  tlu^  position  of  the  anterior  row  of  tiiber- 
cules;  one  shows  tliem  alouft"  and  inside  the  anterior  mar.uin,  as  no  doubt 
they  are,  wliile  tin'  other  represents  them  as  ])]aced  on  the  margin  and 
appearing  as  sharp  and  dee})  serrations.

This  is  identical  with  the  PoUfdexnuis  serratns  of  Say. 

9.  Polydesmus    pennsylvanicus    Koch.      Syst.    Myr.,    133,    1847    ( ronmylrdHia); 

Die  Myr.,  ii,  18,  pi.  ($9.  tig.  142,  1863. 

Probably  identical  with  srrratxs.  It  ditlers  in  having"  four  .scale-like 
tubercules  in  the  tirst  row.  Koch  may  have  diawn  liis  ligure  from  one 
of  the  ultimate  segments,  and  this  will  account  for  the  larger  number 
of  .scales.  On  the  ultimate  segments  of  nerratxs  there  is  occasioiiall}'  a 
tendency  for  four  scales  in  the  first  row. 

PennsyWanicuH  can  not  be  the  same  as  i*.  hmmieri  Bolbnan.  tor  tlie 
latter  has  so  far  only  been  found  in  the  Tennessee  mountains.  Several 
Italian  authors  have  recorded  specimens  oi pen nsj/J ran i<ii.sl\oui  northern

According  to  Peters,  who  has  probably  examined  the  type  sj^ecimen, 
mavulntus  is  the  same  as  EnryuruH  cryikropyijuH  (Brandt).  In  this 
view  he  seems  to  be  correct,  for  I  can  find  no  dirtV'ience  between  the  de- 
scription of  maculatua  and  specimens  of  erythr«q}yyii.s.

On  account  of  tin'  j;reat  ditVerencc  between  the  two  |)rincii)al  orders 
of  the  old  ^iroiip  of  Myriapo«la,  as  has  been  recently  shown  by  I'ococU, 
Kinjisley,  and  several  continental  writers.  I  have  reuar<led  the  old 
jii'onp  as  forinin<:f  two  distinct  divisions:  One.  the  Synj;iiatha,  as  beinj; 
more  ilosely  related  to  the  ilexapoda,  and  should  be  united  with  it  to 
from  om^  (dass;*  the  other,  the  I>ipl<tpo)hi  and  Pnuropodn  +  ^is  form- 
injj  another  class,  to  whi<d»  I  have  restricted  the  name  of  ]\Iyriapoda. 
1  have  rej^arded  the  tJidltla'  and  Their  allies  as  beinj^  the  oldest  uronp 
on  account  of  the  followinji'  facts: 

(1)  That  they  are  the  only  ^rouj*  of  which  we  have  any  fjeolojrical 
evidence. 

(2)  That  they  have  niort^  se|i>ineuts  than  other  jiioups,  tiius  showin<; 
less  specialization  (tlu^  -J-footed  condition  of  the  younj;  is  due  to  the 
amount  of  food  y<dk  and  not  to  any  ancestral  form.) 

(3)  That  they  have  simple,  tracheie. 

The  Myriajioda  may  be  divided  into  the  foUowiii}^  subclasses:

of  the  fact  that  it  is  the  only  gronj)  of  Artiiroi)oda  which  has  a  trne  labium.  The 
Syngnatha  and  Hexapoda  are  considered  as  snbclasst-s. 

t  I  have  considered  tiie  I'din-npixhi  as  l»einn  more  closely  allied  to  the  IHplopoda  on 
acconnt  of  the  anterioi'  position  of  the  genital  opening,  the  tbrm  and  jiosition  of  the

are  too  close  to  admit  of  so  liigh  a  rank.  •

CLASSIFICATION   OF  THE  SYNGNATHA." 

r.Y    CIIAKI.KS    II.     IIOM.MAN. 

Ill  ju'conliiiice  witli  the  virws  iccriitly  advniuiMl  l)y  Pocock.  Kiiiji's- 
\oy,  and  several  coiitiiieiital  writers,  1  have  rejiarded  the  SipujiKithn  as 
beiiij;  more  closely  allied  to  the  H('X(ip<nJn  than  to  any  orders  of  the 
old  group  of  Mf/rit(i)oihi.  For  the  class  iiieludiiii;  the  SiitKjtutthd  and 
JIexapoiIi(,  I  )>ropose  the  name  I'Jti/iiKK'/iila,  in  relerenee  to  the  fact  that 
they  are  the  only  two  groups  which  have  a  true  labium.  T  have  ar 
ranged  the  tbllowing  classilication  accor<ling  to  an  ascending  series. 
My  reasons  for  phicing  the  Litln>hii<l<v  lowest  are  as  follows: 

1  (a)  According  to  the  investigations  of  Ilaase,  in  Lithohins,  Ihnicops^ 
Cryptops^Awd  in  young  specinu'iis  <)f  Scolnpctidni  and  Jhuriuui,  the  spir- 
acles are  «'haracterized  by  a  feeble  margin,  a  shortish  cone,  no  closing 
apparatus,  an«l  by  the  sei)arate  aj^ertures  of  the  traclu'a'. 

{h)  That  in  the  Geophilid(V  and  SmJopendrUUv  the  tracheal  system  is 
most  highly  developed. 

2.  In  the  distribution  of  the  genera  of  ANAMoiiriiA.  {Hrjiicops,  Ijith- 
f>fti//s,  and  Hcntigcrn)  we  see  indications  of  tln'ir  oidness,  while  in  the 
distribution  of  a  large  number  of  genera  of  Eiumoki'IIA  we  observe  that 
they  are  confined  to  small  areas  and  not  cosmopolitan  as  the  others. 

Although  tlie  Epiniorpha  may  have  tlu'  highest  development  of  a 
tracheal  system,  nevertheless  in  many  ])oiiits  the  Geopln'lithr  show  in- 
dications of  a  degenerate  family. 

Class  ETYMOCHILA. 

Siabclasw  I  — JSVXtxN A1"H^. 

A  comparison  of  the  characters  (jf  the  Epimorpho  and  Anamorphn  of 
Meiuert  shows  that  his  divisions  should  have  the  rank  of  orders.  They 
may  be  characterized  as  follows: 

a.  Pairs  of  legs  15;  coxir  large;  feniak's  with  external  genital  armature:  biudgut 
straight;  young  born  with  scvfii  pairs  of  Ic^s AxAMouriiA. 

aa.  Pairs  of  legs  always  more  than  21 ;  c  )xa'  small ;  ft'uialcs  withontextfrnal  genital 
armature;  hiuil  gut  Ix-iit;  young  born  with  as  many  pairs  of  legs  as  adult 

Epimorimia. 


*Siuce  A'//n</?irt//i«,  as  defintMt  by  Leach,   is  an   older  name  than  tlie   Cliiloiwda  of 
Latx'eille,  it  should  be  used  insvead  of  the  latter.

A  recent  examination  of  the  type  of  Cryptopn po-Htiva  Say,  which  is  de- 
posited in  the  British  museum,  by  Mr.  Iv.  Innes  Pocock,*  has  proven 
that  Newjunt  was  mistaken  as  to  Say's  spe<*ies  having  eyes.  The 
elimination  of  this  (character  makes  Theatops  identical  with  Opin- 
thetneya;  but  as  the  former  is  oldest  it  must  be  used  in  place  of  the  lat- 
ter, notwithstanding  the  fact  that  it  is  based  in  part  upon  an  erroneous 
character.  This  conclusion  was  publislied  by  me  some  time  before  Mr. 
Poiock's  i)ai)er  api)eared  (T.  craHsipes  Bollman,  Am.  X.  Y.  Lye.  N.  H.,

The  increase  in  length  of  legs  is  more  noticeable  in  specimens  from 
the  southeast  portion  of  the  United  Slates,  while  toward  the  southwest 
they  tend  to  be  more  like  the  northern. 

As  all  my  specimens  from  Pensacola  are  small  I  have  compared  them 
with  one  of  the  same  size  from  (leorgia. 

Some  specimens  from  Winona  and  Chicago  ha\e  the  interior  spine 
of  anal  legs  absent. 

The  specimen  from  Jialtimore  has  the  tibia  and  tarsi  of  anal  legs 
pilose,  the  hairs  being  much  longer  than  those  of  other  specimens;  the 
other  legs  are  rather  sparsely  pilose. 

Those  from  Indian  Springs  seem  to  represent  tScoJop.  georfiicffi  of 
Meinert;  although  the  anal  legs  are  hmger,  the  Ursl  4  dorsal  plates  im- 
marginate,  and  tlie  i)rosternum  slightly  dentate,  I  believe  it  should  not 
be  considered  as  a  good  species.

in  the  hirsutenessof  the  first aiitennal  joints;  t he ditfeiences mentioned

small;  in  fact,  only  nine  species  were  obtained,  against  twenty -four 
from  Winona.

I  have  been  unable  to  find  any  differences  between  P.  lecontei  and 
rosea  or  califoniicus;  especially  Karsch's  description  of  the  latter,  for 
Murray's  description  of  rosea  is  so  meager  that  it  is  almost  impossi- 
ble to  identify  his  s})ecies  with  any  of  the  others. 

A  careful  study  of  the  male  copulation  foot  of  the  Eastern  and  West- 
ern forms  mav  reveal  some  differences.

Two  specimens  (male  and  female)  were  found  in  a  vial  containing;  Spi- 
robolun  surin((mrn8is,  wliicih  were  identi«'al  with  a  spe<'imeii  in  anotlier 
vial  from  Paramaribo,  Surinam.  As  these  s])ecimens  are  from  the  same 
region  where  the  tyi)es  o['  voarvtidus  were  from,  I  have  not  liesitate«l  to 
identify  them  with  that  species;  in  fact,  if  I  had  no  males  the  locality 
v»'ould  be  the  princii)al  means  of  identifying,  as  it  is  impossible  to  sepa- 
rate/;ract7/«,  coarctdfKs,  and  ilasi/x  by  any  other  point  than  that  of  the 
male  genitalia.  My  identifying  these  specimens  with  coarctatus  and  con- 
sidering viearius  and  pocj/i  identical,  as  shown  by  the  co])ulation  foot  of 
the  males,  has  led  me  to  study  the  «lit1'erent  species  belonging  to  this 
group.  Herelu'tbre  (•oarctafus  has  been  considered  identical  with  Fon- 
faria  gracilift  Koch,  from  Tulolos,  Austria;  but  as  i)roven  by  Latzel's 
figure*  of  the  copulation  foot  of  Austrian  specimens,  this  can  not  be. 
Coarctatus  ami  (jracUis  have  also  been  considered  identical  with  a 
certain  si)ecies  from  Borneo,  Timor,  Alinda  and  A'iti-Levu,  and  a  few 
other  East  Indian  localities;  but  even  these  specimens  as  shown  by 
Karsch's  figure  t  of  the  male  copulation  foot,  although  more  allied  to 
gracilis  than  coarctntusj  are  not  identical  and  represent  an  nndescribed 
species  (0.  A'ar.sr/ii,  sp.  nov.).  On  account  of  these  changes  and  dif- 
ferences the  species  of  Orthomorpha  should  stand  as  follows: 

1.  Orthomorpha  coarctata  (Saussure)  {^:^rkariuH\:^imeyi).      Habitat:  West  lu- 

dies,  Sminain,  Brazil,  and  Africa. 

2.  Orthomorpha  beaumonti  (Le  Guillou)  {^=r.npeciahHin  Kars.h).     Habitat: 

Horneo  aud  .Java. 

3.  Orthomorpha pekinensia  (Karsch).     Habitat:  Pekiii<r,  China. 

4.  Orthomorpha  flavolimbata  (Guldeusteeden  aud    Ej^eling).      Habitat:   Japan.

t  P.  ficarius  Karsch  may  not  be  identical  with  coarviaiua,  as  his  fignre  of  the  male 
genitalia  only  shows  two  i)oints,  while  in  coarctatus  there  are  three;  but  as  they  are 
Ismail,  it  is  very  probable  he  did  not  observe  the  third.

NOTES   ON    A   SMALL   COLLECTION    OF   MYRIAPODS   FROM    THE 

BERMUDA  ISLANDS. 

nV    (SIAKLES    II.    I'.OIXMA.N. 

The  following  species,  which  were  eollected  by  Prof.  Ileilprin  in 
the  suuimer  of  188S,  althou<;h  limited  in  iiuniber,  show  the  diverse 
origin  of  the  Myriapod  fauna  of  the  Bermuda  Islands.  Ileretofo'e 
J idus  morelefi  hiin  only  been  found  in  the  Azores  Islands;  Mecistocc- 
phalxs  (fiiiUlinfiii  in  the  West  Indies;  Lithohius  Uipidicola  in  Europe, 
and  Spiroboliis  hUpriiii,  by  having  scobina,  shows  its  West  Indian  and 
not  African  origin,  for  all  found  in  the  latter  continent  belong  to  the 
subgenus  Spirobohts  from  which  scobina  are  absent. 

These  four  species,  including  a  specimen  of  Scolopemlra  subspinipes 
which  I  have  in  ray  collection,  are  all  that  as  yet  have  been  reported 
from  the  Hermuda  Islands. 

I  desire  to  express  my  thanks  to  Prof.  Angelo  Ileilj^rin,  of  the  Acad- 
emy of  Natioiiiil  Sciences  of  Philadelphia,  for  the  privilege  of  examining 
this  collection  of  Myriapods. 

1.  Spiroboliis  Heilprini,  sp.  uov. 

J)i(((f. — Related  to  Spiroboliis  farocinctiis  Karsch,  but  the  segments

first  two  tarsal  Joints  beneath  witli  an  oval  roughened  lobe;.joints  of

tarsi  withouta  pad;  ventral  i)lateof  copulation-foot triangnlaras high  as 
foot,  its  base  not  concave,  its  posterior  surface  ridged,  thus  making  the 
plate  of  a  triangular-pyramidal  form;  anterior  i)art  of  first  foot  not  as 
high  as  ventral  i)late,  triangularly  pointed,  the  ventral  plate  ridge

elongate-lanceolate,  its  upper  e«lge  serrate,  basal  i)art  of  foot  rectang-

female,  44.    Length  52  """,  width  li.  8  """-4. 2  """. 

This  species  is  described  from  six  broken  and  badly  preserved  si)eci- 
mens.  In  the  type  of  copulation-foot  it  resembles  that  of  arhorcus  and 
dugeai^  and  it  is  very  ])robable  that  all  the  species  behmging  to  this 
group  have  the  same  type,  i.  e.,  the  ventral  plate  triangular  and  as  high 
as  ])osterior  part  of  anterior  ])art,  while  the  anterior  part  is  less,  the 
posterior  foot  bitid  and  projecting  out  of  the  oitening. 

I  have  named  this  species  after  Prof.  Angelo  Ileilprin,  of  the  Acad- 
emy of  Xatural  Sciences  of  Philadelphia, 

2.  Jiilus  Moreleti  I^ucus. 

In  the  collection  are  a  number  of  female  specimens  which  I  refer  to 
this  species.     It  has  only  been  found  in  the  Azores  Islands. 

These  specimens  have  the  stria'  of  the  anterior  division  of  the  seg- 
ments not  so  irregular  as  represented  in  Porath's  figure  of  this  spe- 
cies.* 

Segments  42-49.  Adult  almost  black,  legs  reddish  brown;  young 
dusky,  with  a  lateral  row  of  black  spots  and  a  mediuia  black  dorsal 
line,  bordered  with  yellowish,

seem  to  be  identical  with  the  West  Indian  species. 

4.  LithobiuB  lapidicola  Mcinert. 

Two  specimens,  male  and  female.  Joints  of  antenna'  L*0;  ocelli  8  or  9,

It  is  very  ])robable  that  these  specimens  are  not  identical  with  L,  lapi-

.  tated  to  describe  them  as  new.
